Dear Board,
I hope everyone is having a good summer, and playing lots of bridge!
Attached is a preliminary agenda for next Monday’s meeting. Miriam, I will need a financial report before then to send to the Board. Also attached are the minutes from the last meeting.
If there is any other business we need to handle, please let me know. I will be out of town and working from an iPad so will try to add into the agenda.
And MoJO, are you able to Zoom host this meeting Monday evening at 7?
Many thanks to you all,
Lisa
Here is the Unit 559 History written by Mike Marcucci for the day we have contributed for during the ongoing Beach Regional. Roy, I have converted this to PDF. Can you put on the website? Also our day during the tournament is July 4th so it would be nice to have as many from our unit as possible that day. Seems difficult since it’s the holiday but there you are…
Lisa

Hooray!
One of Frontier's tech gave me a call and came 5 day early. He didn’t completely fix my problem, but our website is backup.
I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
Folks,
My assessment of the two of these that I reviewed is that the content and general formatting is very nice. They show a lot of thought and effort.
However, the number of capitalized words is unnecessary and very distracting (looks like the CAPS LOCK got stuck here and there). I’d reserve caps for special terms and words to which we want to bring particular attention. Alternatively, we could just capitalize everything……….
I did proposed revisions on two of the four attachments (attached) which you can review, assess, and comment on for what they are worth.

Don,
The two attachments marked Roy were only supposed to go directly to him as he requested larger font.
You are more than welcome to work with Pat to update the one that has the picture.

No, this is not a problem caused by an aging computer nor an aging webmaster.
Frontier, my internet service provider, is at fault —- AGAIN! They caused the last one and several others in the past and they also responsible for this one, and won’t send a tech until next Tuesday.

I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
Any adjustment to the flyer, i.e., adding Paula as an Assistant Director?

And Paula has just accepted the invitation to work with me for all four sessions. :)
She just arrived at her place in Rosarito, Mexico, gazing at the ocean, and enjoying a cool breeze with no ash or smoke. :)

Dear Board, I have spoken at length with MoJo and you all have seen his emails. Having the national director is not going to be as expensive as he envisioned as he lives in San Diego County and has already paid for his room, so we would have to pay that anyway. MoJo is suggesting and I agree that we stay with John as our TD, hire Paula Olivares as the second director and keep MoJo as a third director to deal with the dealing machines and Bridgemates and site issues. This wi enable us to keep the full MP awards and also make it much easier on the directors. We have not heard that Paula is willing to do this yet, but I will keep you informed. This is much easier on our directors, as the TD signs everyone in and takes care or all payments, etc. Thanks for all your quick responses this morning.
